TL;DR · Senior FPGA Engineer, Simulink

As a Senior FPGA Engineer - Simulink (REMOTE), you will join a cross-functional engineering team to deliver robust embedded processing solutions for communications and networking. You will manage the full firmware implementation lifecycle, translating algorithms from Matlab and Simulink into designs for low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, and SoMs. Your daily work involves establishing development workflows for architecture, design, simulation, verification, and system testing while developing microProcessor ICDs between FPGAs and data handling schemes. The role requires expertise in VHDL or Verilog, C, C++, and RTOS environments. You will utilize standard interfaces like Ethernet, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB while using EE test equipment to validate PCBAs. This position addresses technical challenges in wireless communications systems, high-reliability aerospace designs, and complex board troubleshooting within the domain of defense technology.

What you'll do

  • Deliver robust embedded processing solutions for communications and networking systems.
  • Execute the full FPGA firmware development lifecycle from algorithm definition to system sustainment.
  • Translate MATLAB and Simulink algorithms into functional FPGA implementations using code generators.
  • Establish and optimize product development workflows across the HDL firmware lifecycle.
  • Develop microProcessor ICDs between FPGAs and message/data handling schemes.
  • Design, implement, and verify FPGA-based systems using VHDL or Verilog.
  • Test and troubleshoot complex board designs for communications systems.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
  • Experience working with cross-functional hardware and embedded systems teams from concept to production.
  • 6+ years of experience designing, implementing, and verifying FPGA-based systems using VHDL or Verilog.
  • Experience using code-generators to translate MATLAB/Simulink algorithms into FPGA implementations.
  • Proficiency in C and C++ and experience with Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
  • Familiarity with MCU, CPU, FPGA devices, standard interfaces (Ethernet, I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB), and EE test equipment.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Experience with wireless communications, networking, AI tools, and aerospace standards like DO-254 or MIL-STD (preferred).
